Sorry, I was out of town on a gig this weekend and missed this.
I do all my own setups and stuff. I've got 14 guitars and most of them never need much work. A couple of the Floyd Rose trems require a little tweek now & then. Installing pickups and that kind of stuff is really easy after you've done it once. I've never done a fret job on any of them, but never really needed to. I usually check & reset the intonation everytime I change strings, but it's easy to do. Oddly enough, I've only had to adjust the trussrod once on any of my guitars, on one of my Les Pauls just recently.
I broke a string at the gig we played in Flagstaff Saturday night. It was the first one in about 5 years! Kind of freaked me out! I hardly ever even change them, I guess my playing style is on the light side.
